PCD-47B

Submitted by Wayne on August 23, 2024 - 11:32am

I’ve used the PCD-50B card reader with Apple IIs. I got mine when they were inexpensive but now the price has skyrocketed. It has 5 card slots but the only card slot that any Apple II SCSI cards can see is the PCMIA slot.

I was browsing Craigslist and saw a PCD-47B card reader for next to nothing. It has 3 card slots but I was hoping that at least the PCMCIA slot would work with Apple IIs.

Sdisk2 NIC images?

Submitted by LoccyDaBorg on August 14, 2024 - 6:52am

Hi all,

Thought I'd ask if anyone has built a collection of Sdisk2-compatible NIC images for quick download?

I know there are conversion tools from DSK to NIC, but if someone's already been through that pain barrier already and made NICs available, it would obviously save me a lot of time.

pool of radiance only recognizes one drive??

Submitted by system1834 on August 13, 2024 - 8:31pm

i have pool of radiance on apple IIe and i have two disk ii

drives. This game takes up eight floppies and for some reason it only recognizes drive 1. it doesn't even activate drive 2 at all.  There is no way anyone played this eight floppy game with one drive. Where do i begin to get this game to recognize the other drive? The drive 2 works with other software. Thanks

8-bit Merlin file saving issue

Submitted by sbaker51 on August 10, 2024 - 4:44pm

For some reason unknown to me, recently (the last month or so), every time I attempt to save any  file after doing so the first time using the 8-bit version of the ProDOS version of the  Merlin assembler using either the AppleWin or GS+ emulator, I receive an '40 INVALID PATHNAME' error. 

What happens is...

Create a new source code file; assemble it; save the source file; save the object file. The first time I do so, both the source and object file save as expected.

Profile HD controller for Apple II

Submitted by 8BitHeaven on August 10, 2024 - 1:36pm

I was going through some junk today and ran across a Profile HD.  It powers up and seems to make the right noises.  It might have come with an Apple /// I got rid of about 1992.  Is anyone working on a clone of the Apple //e Profile controller?

recapping //e motherboard

Submitted by dcrowell on August 5, 2024 - 10:01am

(newb alert!)

I got a //e and replaced the power supply.  But recently I've read that all capacitors in a vintage computer (not just the PS) should be replaced because in time they will all fail.

 

So since I like to do everything right, I thought I am also looking into getting the motherboard, two disk drives and the monitor recapped.

 

I found a place that will recap the monitor, but in our recent email exchange they said they didn't think the motherboard had capacitors on it.
